It should be noted that I refused to pick every other Test Cricketer as no other Test Cricketer ever walked in any of the players selected shoes, therefore I couldn't judge them fairly, so alas this is the new ATG XI.

None from the 1890s NUFAN?

I thought that WA Woof's 754 wickets at 17.73, or AW Mold's 1673 wickets 15.54 a piece would make them a shoe-in. In comparison Chris Old's FC Average of 23.48 is pretty ordinary and should exclude him from your team.

since it is the same team except for 1 player I think looks wise Shane Warne might have been better than Barnes....so the first team is better looks wise.

And smalishah's avatar is the most classy one by far Jan certainly echoes the sentiments of CW

Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta

I would say the second one, because even though I belive Warne would be the better spinner (especially in modern conditions), the fact that you are only playing two specialst pace bowlers, Barnes would be able to deliver some cover for that at first change. He would revert to spin later in the innings and on the last day in particular if required.

Lillee over Mcgrath as Barnes at best is another medium pacer and so more mimicks Mcgrath and so better served by another full out agressive quick.

Again based on if Barnes should be included, which again I not convinced he does.

Agree completely.

Barnes was probably a yard or two slower than McGrath, but he appeared to have the same nagging accuracy and steep bounce. And of course he bowled with a lot more variation. Both are superb additions to any attack.

i want to see a tournament featuring sheet anchors + accurate bowlers in one team, aggressive batters + strike bowlers in another and players who could change gears either ways in the third team. will avoid bradman to ensure all three teams are equally balanced.
